OUT of the many methods suggested 1 for the quantitative determination of the total of aromatic constituents in mineral oils, none is suitable for giving information about the nature of these ...

The term aromaticity is a basic, long-standing concept in chemistry that is well established for ring-shaped carbon compounds. Aromatic rings consisting solely of metal atoms were, however, heretofore ...

Aromaticity is one of chemistry’s oldest concepts to describe the behavior of molecules. Chemists created it 150 years ago to help visualize and explain the bonding, structure, and reactivity of ...

NMR spectroscopy is a powerful technique that is ideally suited to the characterization and analysis of a diverse array of chemical compounds. Unlike many other analytical techniques, NMR spectroscopy ...

Aromatic medicinal plants derive their therapeutic value from complex mixtures of volatile compounds, yet the genetic logic that shapes these chemical profiles has long remained elusive.

Scientists at the University of South Florida Health (USF Health) have discovered a new mechanism that helps neurons sense signals from the gut microbiome. The finding explains how fenchol—a natural ...

The flavor and fragrance company Symrise is working with the Belgian biotech firm ChemCom to identify aromatic compounds that block the receptors of unpleasant odors. The partners will use ChemCom’s ...
